Going over to preorder this tomorrow (hopefully!), can't wait! Was going to find the unboxing videos, but decided I didn't want to see them all before December. That being said - REALLY can't wait until December!! This'll make the whole month wonderful!

Why would you ruin an advent calendar. I know people like spoilers of monthly boxes. But this is literally the point of an advent calendar to be surprised each day. To get a small gift each day.

I'm terrible with surprises, and I would want to make an informed decision before spending $120+ on 3 different sets of minis for which has exclusives that I would be interested in.

I think these might also be multiple exclusives. I just preordered from my local Gamestop theirs. I hope that is a mistake as how many advent calendars does one household need, just to get all the figures?

Yeah, but at a certain point it might be cheaper/easier to buy an extra calendar and try to trade/sell the extras you get, since most times ebay prices for the exclusives are close or exceed the price of buying a whole calendar yourself

Yeah, mainly I wanted to see which characters were in each so I can best decide which set I like. I will try not to spoil any for those who want a surprise!

Which other place has an exclusive besides GS?

I could never wait that long but still I am careful not to spoil it for others

Picked my pre-ordered one up from GS last night and it is taking everything I have (as well as a girlfriend, who is uninterested in Funko, forcing me) not to open every single one. I mean, come on! Releasing a full month before you can open the first one?! It's just sitting there...taunting me...

Just picked my pre-ordered one up at GS. I thought the GS one was supposed to be a GS exclusive version, but it doesn't say that anywhere on the packaging... Either way it's ok with me. $20 cheaper than other places I saw.

I received mine from GameStop as well. Mine came in the shipper box that it was shipped to GameStop in (which was in a larger box to protect it). On the outside of the shipper it has the description of “Advent Calendar: Harry Potter - 24 pcs (GS)”. That is the only indication that it is an exclusive.

And likewise I am holding back from opening it as I want to enjoy it during the holiday season. I absolutely love Christmas and Harry Potterso this was a great release for me. But like everyone else I really wish they had not made exclusive versions. I would like to have all of the characters but don’t want to buy multiple calendars. Granted I can save the others and open them other years .

Picking up my GS calendar today. Ordered the Target one online. I'll probably open the GS one immediately to identify the exclusive figures. Will wait on the Target one to make absolutely sure the GS one is an exclusive one.

Maybe the non-exclusive calendars will be available after the holidays, on clearance? Worth a shot, right?

I broke down and bought 2 - one GS, one Target. I figure I'll take out the 3 characters I didn't get from one, fill those spots with other HP stuff, and give it to the kid as a present next year. She'll never know the difference..!
